  • Description:
    Blue crab and calico scallop processing plant residues traditionally are landfilled, creating unique waste management problems. Alternative methods to landfilling were investigated here including in-plant compacting; anaerobic bioconversion potential; composting; compost marketing; use of compost on crops; and nematode control using compost. It appears feasible to compost blue crab and calico scallop processing plant scrap and there appear to be uses for the final compost products. However, composting should only be attempted after consideration of the complete production, use and associated problems. General recommendations resulting from the project investigations are listed.
